Phoebe - All Bright and Breezy

This is Phoebe, she is a tall girl at 18 inches, made to my Agatha pattern and is dressed in a piece of Kaffe Fassett fabric by Rowan.  I have no idea how old the fabric is but I bought it at our local vintage fair.  I have never worked with a Rowan fabric before, it was great to work with but creased easily.  Much more vibrant than my usual fabric but fun. Stitching her jazzy lavender bag was great too and I like the finish.

Her underskirts are made with recycled fabrics, the pink an old linen blouse of Beccas and the white are actually off cuts from a pair of Mum's curtains. Her last underskirt is tulle to give her skirts extra lift.

If you are in the area, the vintage fair at Cedar Farm Gallery is the second Sunday in every month and at £1 entry is a very pleasant way to spend an afternoon.  The coffee there is very good and if you fancy lunch the cafe is great, really fresh.  I bought a victorian tin full of mother of pearl buttons for £6 which I think is a steal.  Cedar Farm is in Mawdesley down Back Lane, their website is www.cedarfarm.net - its one of our favourites.
